I decided that I would start a blog all about my knitting projects. I learned to knit in the late 1980's (made 4 placemats none matching and a few holes). I picked up knitting again just in Feb 2009. Now I've started to spin Aug 2010 with a drop spindle and now with a Hansen Minispinner since Oct 2010. I started weaving Sept 2014 on an Emilia Glimakra Rigid Heddle Loom. I've been test knitting since 2011 and a sample knitter since 2016.

S's Christmas Socks - DONE!

Started Oct 9/09 Finished Nov 15/09

These are going to be hubby's Christmas sock. They were going to be a surprise but he has such wide feet, I couldn't knit them with out having him try them on. As it was, I had to cast 48 stitches rather then the 44 the pattern called for. I'm doing this on circulars (magic loop) rather then on double pointed needles. This is a really easy pattern. If I wasn't trying to do 5 other projects at the same time, I would have finished these socks in about a week.
